We probably need to add some verbiage to the link and/or address what
you are looking for more directly, probably either via
http://www.apache.org/dev/ or a page linked off that page.  Recapping:

1) That page lists applications maintained by the whimsy PMC.
mail-search is not maintained by the whimsy PMC.

2) The page itself is maintained by the whimsy PMC, of which you are
not (yet? <grin>) a member, yet you changed it.

3) The SVN repository is in the process of being replaced by a git
repository which is synchronized with GitHub.  The change you made is
not present in the the new repository.

4) The whole whimsy VM is the process of being replaced by a new VM,
which will be automatically deployed based on the content in the new
repository.

Net: unless some action is taken the change you made will not show up
when the VM is replaced; and even then could easily be removed by
somebody who is cleaning up and did not know the reason behind the
link.
